What customers say
Customer satisfaction centers overwhelmingly on the Pelican Protector case's superior safety features. Users consistently laud the rugged, military-grade construction, confirming it reliably shields their iPhone 12 or 12 Pro from severe drops, offering significant peace of mind. While protection is unmatched, the primary trade-off noted is bulk; the case noticeably increases size and weight, impacting one-handed use and pocketability. Minor complaints mention the stiffness of the side buttons requiring extra pressure. Despite a higher price, most agree the investment is worthwhile for the exceptional defense provided. Those prioritizing maximum protection over slim design are extremely satisfied with this top-tier solution.
Know before you buy
No, this case is not MagSafe compatible. While it supports standard wireless charging, the magnetic connection will not be strong enough to securely attach MagSafe accessories.
The Pelican Protector is rated for drops up to 15 feet. It achieves this through a dual-layer design that combines a rigid, impact-resistant polycarbonate shell with a shock-absorbent rubber lining.
No, the antimicrobial properties are designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria on the case surface, but they do not replace regular cleaning. You should still wipe down your phone and case periodically to maintain hygiene.
While it is a rugged, protective case, it is designed with a non-slip grip to ensure it stays securely in your hand. It balances heavy-duty protection with a functional, ergonomic design.
No, a screen protector is not included with this case. You will need to purchase a separate screen protector if you want additional coverage for your display.
Pelican offers a lifetime guarantee on this product. If you experience issues with the case's integrity, you can contact the manufacturer regarding their warranty policy.
